What happens after Xi Jinping? (hexbear.net)

The guys is ~~almost 80~~ 73, he's an old man.
He's been very successful in his tenure, carried out great anti-corruption campaigns, overseen a pivot to green energy, helmed China as it has retaken its place in the sun.
At the same time there's a lot of foreign policy stuff that leaves some wanting. There's still cliques of liberals (as far as I understand, which is very little, which is why I ask) that are working towards something very different (I hear Shanghai is really bad?) not to mention some impending economic doom, according to some China posters here.

Whatever the case is, Xi has been monumental and at the forefront of a great wave of change. One must Imagine he has planned for his retirement, moved things around to ensure some of His Guys are in good positions to take over.
Or maybe not?

So what happens when he goes away? Who is likely to take his spot? What will happen on the world stage?

4 so far, not including you. Also one about the WiiU.
Im curious about your block jubilee though, I would Imagine id be a lot more grating than most of the users who made that joke. Then again I dont post a lot at the moment. And ive blocked a bunch that others like, so who am i to say.

Edit: wait isnt a jubilee a relief? A debt jubilee isn't when you hand out a bunch of debt.

I unblocked everyone in the block jubilee and then reblocked everyone almost immediately after because I'm back on my bullshit.

Blocking is not bullshit, protect yourself from dinguses
